JAKARTA – PT Dharma Satya Nusantara Tbk (DSNG), also known as DSN Group, has set aside capital expenditure (capex) of IDR 800 billion for 2025.

The company will allocate the funds for infrastructure development, including road maintenance, as well as the rejuvenation of machinery at its palm oil mills.

“The company is also continuing its palm oil replanting programme on over 3,000 hectares. By the end of 2025, total replanted area could reach 5,000 to 5,500 hectares,” said DSNG Director Jenti during a virtual public presentation on Thursday (5/6).

Jenti also noted that DSNG’s performance growth in 2025 will be influenced by fluctuations in the price of crude palm oil (CPO). Annual performance growth is projected to be within the single-digit range.

“Looking at price trends since the start of the year, there has been a decline, but compared to last year, CPO prices are still better,” she said.

In the first quarter of 2025, CPO prices were recorded at around IDR 14.9 million per tonne. “This had a positive impact on the company’s profitability compared with the previous year,” she added.

On the production side, DSNG expects CPO output in 2025 to be at least on par with last year’s level, with potential for up to 5% growth.

“We hope the company’s performance will continue to improve in 2025, although we are still only in the second quarter. The accuracy of projections will heavily depend on production outcomes and CPO price movements in the coming quarters,” she said. (DK/KR/ZH)
